Answer:

However, compared to other stars, our Sun is only a medium-sized star, meaning that some stars are much larger than the Sun and some are much smaller. The Sun looks bigger than other stars because it is so much closer to the Earth. The further away an object is, the smaller it appears, even if it is very big.

What does it mean to say that the average speed of a car is 35 miles per hour?

LenKa [72]

It means that the car has covered

(35 miles) x (the number of hours since it started traveling).

At some points during that time, the car was most likely moving
faster or slower than 35 miles per hour. We don't know. We only
know that it covered (35 miles) x (the number of hours since it left).

figure 2 shows a charged ball of mass m = 1.0 g and charage q = -24*10^-8 c suspended by massless string in the presence of a un

Answer:

E = 307667 N/C

Explanation:

Since the object's mass is 1 g, then its weight in newtons is 0.001 * 9.8 = 0.0098 N.

This weight should have the same magnitude of the vertical component of the tension T of the string (T * cos(37)) so we can find the magnitude of the tension T via:

0.0098 N = T * cos(37)

then T = 0.0098/cos(37) N = 0.01227 N

Knowing the tension's magnitude, we can find its horizontal component:

T * sin(37) = 0.007384 N

and now we can obtain the value of the electric field since we know the charge of the ball to be: -2.4 * 10^(-8) C:

0.007384 N = E * 2.4 * 10^(-8) C

Then E = 0.007384/2.4 * 10^(-8) N/C

E = 307667 N/C
